So my husband has experience with fixing up his grandmas house which we live
in now. For years I just didn't like the house 1023sq (2bd, 1 bath, unusable
garage, on a busy street) we have a toddler son and we are also running out of
room to put things. Collection of sheds to put our things. But we live in a
nice small community on the shoreline w/ A+ schools. We found a fixer upper
40min in the deep woods w/9acres it's 4bd 2car garage. It's a big house 3000sq
and cost less than our house now. My husband wants it and to fix it. Getting
an inspection soon. I'm nervous about it living here, there is nothing to do
and the schools are decent. So it's either pay more for our small cramped
house in a desired area or buy bigger cheaper house in remote area
